denhamd2 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hi,I have some html stored in a variable $myhtml with a <table> with a few rows. There are currently a lot of rows but I basically just want to echo the first 7 rows, i.e. only take up to the 7th occurance of </tr> ... any ideas on how to do this? Many thanks in advance...

HuggieBear Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Is the variable always only going to be one table, or could it contain more than one?RegardsHuggie Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25038-preg-match-question-urgent-help-needed/#findComment-114115 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuggieBear Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 ok, and do you want complete code returned or just partial code? I'll explain the question. Do you want the <table> tag along with the first 7 <tr> tags, or just the 7 <tr> tags, or the <table>, the first 7 <tr> tags and then everything after the last <tr> tag?Long winded, but hopefully makes sense...RegardsHuggie Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25038-preg-match-question-urgent-help-needed/#findComment-114119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuggieBear Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I thought that he still wanted the <tr> tags in there. My bad.RegardsHuggie Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25038-preg-match-question-urgent-help-needed/#findComment-114208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
